Quake DeveLS - Auto Bindings
Author: Kieren

Difficulty: Easy
In this tutorial, I'll be
showing you how to create auto bindings. This means, when a client connects to
a server with your mod on, they'll automatically get some bindings sent to
them.
· Please that this tutorial assumes you have downloaded the q_devels.c
functions, which always help out !!
· You should also have the 3.20 source code.
So, lets get on with
this...create a new file to hold our functions called p_autobind.c.
Now, paste the following code into it:
/*=================p_autobind.c Functions for automatic bindsand/or aliases on clientconnection.=================*/ #include "q_devels.h" // QDeveLS functions#include "g_local.h" // Standard include header#include "p_autobind.h" // AutoBind header void CreateBind (edict_t *ent,char *key, char *command){ // CreateBind binds the key "key" to the command "command" for the // client *ent; // * If required, add \" quote characters around commands and/or // keys stuffcmd ("bind ",ent); stuffcmd (key,ent); stuffcmd (" ",ent); stuffcmd (command,ent); stuffcmd ("\n",ent);} void CreateAlias (edict_t *ent,char *name, char *commands){ // CreateAlias - similar to "alias ". Sends to // client *ent; stuffcmd ("alias ",ent); stuffcmd (name,ent); stuffcmd (" ",ent); stuffcmd (commands,ent); stuffcmd ("\n",ent);}
And then,
you make the header file, p_autobind.h. Put this text into it to provide
prototypes for the command functions we just added:
/*=================p_autobind.h Header for autobind additionsto Quake 2=================*/ void CreateBind (edict_t *ent,char *key, char *command);void CreateAlias (edict_t *ent,char *name, char *commands);
Then add
these files to your Quake 2 project, and open up p_client.c. At the top
of this file, add a
#include "p_autobind.h"
statement.
Go to the function ClientBeginDeathmatch - this is called in each game
just before a client is about to spawn in a server.
Somewhere after the line containing PutClientInServer, add the following
code:
// display information message gi.cprintf(ent,PRINT_MEDIUM,"Binding default keys....\n"); // create a bind CreateBind(ent,"mouse1","+attack"); gi.cprintf(ent,PRINT_MEDIUM,"Left mouse button = fire\n"); // create another bind CreateBind(ent,"mouse2","+movedown"); gi.cprintf(ent,PRINT_MEDIUM,"Right mouse button = crouch\n"); // create yet another bind (see scanner tutorial) CreateBind(ent,"mouse3","scanner"); gi.cprintf(ent,PRINT_MEDIUM,"Middle button = toggle scanner\n");
and add
whatever binds and/or aliases you want to do!!
That's it, I hope you enjoyed coding it. If you didn't, e-mail me.
